  1. Switch from FNP to AGPCNP???

    db2xs replied to friendlylark's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is not the stupidest idea ever. If you have no intention of ever working in pediatrics or women's health, then why waste your time on learning about children and women? This does not mean...

  2. What does the floor really think of nursing students?

    db2xs replied to superduper's topic in General Nursing

    I find this response to be surprising. I never minded a hardworking student. Additionally, I didn't understand @superduper to say that they are overconfident. They said they are hard working and they...

  3. Sorry nursing

    db2xs replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I think your rant reflects the thoughts of many nurses out there, definitely reflects

  4. What does the floor really think of nursing students?

    db2xs replied to superduper's topic in General Nursing

    This is totally reasonable. Not only should the student be told but the clinical leader as well. None of my students were ever on their phones, thank

  5. What does the floor really think of nursing students?

    db2xs replied to superduper's topic in General Nursing

    "There have been comments by PCAs and nurses about new grad nurses not knowing something." Well, yeah--they're new! People who criticise others for being new and not knowing things, in my opinion,...

  6. NP school application question- Confused on what they're asking

    db2xs replied to scrubulator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They probably do do it intentionally, and my response is ?

  7. Want your opinion- which NP program would you choose?

    db2xs replied to Kyla RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not go to a hybrid program but a distance program that required me to go on campus every year for several days. Knowing what I know now, I wish I went to a hybrid program. While I did enjoy the...

  8. NP school application question- Confused on what they're asking

    db2xs replied to scrubulator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with @umbdude: Best clarify with admissions what Question #1 means because the way I interpret it is "What do I plan to do in order to get an MSN?" It is a poorly worded question, in my...

  9. Exploring the World of Freelance Writing for Nurses

    db2xs replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I was an editor and writer before I changed my career to nursing. I am very interested in doing something in this again so thank you for this

  10. BreEZE account

    db2xs replied to contezaezza's topic in California Nursing

    I would suggest contacting the BRN directly via phone. I know it can be a pain in the butt but better to nip it in the bud now instead of being charged twice and then having to wait eons to get your...

  11. ANCC board review-Hollier or Fitzgerald?

    db2xs replied to Carrie.lyn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Leik is very good and I also learned some strategies/information from Hollier that stuck with me better than Leik's but I would say Hollier is a less intense information-wise (but still good). I...

  12. 5 8s, no thanks!

    db2xs replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Then maybe work full-time first and then when you have kids, go down to

  13. ANCC board review-Hollier or Fitzgerald?

    db2xs replied to Carrie.lyn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not want to fail my first time so I did everything--the review course and the book and app. Questions every day. I also did Hollier, which had a lot of great things as well. I appreciated both...

  14. List of Direct Entry MSN Programs?

    db2xs replied to Jessy27's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I forgot University of California, Los

  15. ANCC board review-Hollier or Fitzgerald?

    db2xs replied to Carrie.lyn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Leik, especially if you're taking

  16. Should I accept Johns Hopkins Offer?

    db2xs replied to nursethp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi. I know your question wasn't directed toward me but I felt the need to say something. I view these direct-entry master's programs to be a bit like an accelerated BSN program, except without earning...

  17. List of Direct Entry MSN Programs?

    db2xs replied to Jessy27's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Johns Hopkins University University of California, San Francisco Columbia University University of Rochester (accelerated master's for

  18. What should I do?

    db2xs replied to raindrop's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @raindrop Congrats on getting your dream job! Sounds great! This is just my opinion but I don't think your convent job will put you at the "bottom of the list" for jobs. Maybe for an acute care,...

  19. Failed Np boards

    db2xs replied to Nette's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @Nette, I can imagine the disappointment you are feeling. You are not alone in failing the boards. Leik is essential. Buy the app, do questions every day. They have a review. Hollier and Barkley...

  20. Should I accept Johns Hopkins Offer?

    db2xs replied to nursethp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I too am a Hopkins alum (my BSN) and in hindsight, I am glad I went, although my perspective is slightly different than FullGlass's. I went to Hopkins to get an education, straight up. I did not like...

  21. Is it the idea of NPs in general Dr. Leah Houston is disgusted with?

    db2xs replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Haters are going to hate. I am already bored of her and have more interesting things to pay attention to. See

  22. NP vs FNP

    db2xs replied to omotee's topic in Advanced Practice

    Being on campus only two times during your entire program? That doesn't sound like a lot, especially if you want to be doing acute

  23. Question about hospital privileges

    db2xs posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello there. I've been working as a home hospice NP for the past year and just had an interview for an inpatient palliative care NP position. I was told during the interview that this particular...

  24. too soon to be an NP?

    db2xs replied to mads197's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't see in OP's first post about how she wants to work in a hospital. @mads197, I think it's really up to you. If you think you want to work in a hospital, then sure, get some hospital experience...

  25. Question about hospital privileges

    db2xs replied to db2xs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I think the reality of the matter is that they actually want an NP with inpatient hospital experience but instead of telling me this, they just made up this excuse about needing to be credentialed....
